Records indicate the late Lord of Thundercats and father of Lion-O was anointed ruler of Thundera as a young adult. It is not known when Claud-Us was blinded in a Mutant attack, but there are indications Jaga the Wise assumed some of Claud-Us' responsibilities while the lord recovered and adapted to the result of his injury. Claud-Us and Jaga knew each other from before, and even fought side by side, wielding the power of the Eye of Thundera together in a fight against the Shadowmaster. This resulted in the Shadowmaster's banishment to the Shadow Realm, a defense that would later come back to haunt Claud-Us in the final minutes before Thundera's destruction. Those who knew Claud-Us thought him dead due to Thundera's destruction.
However, the Shadowmaster had teleported the older lord from Thundera to the Shadow Realm for imprisonment. Many years later, Lion-O traveled to the Shadow Realm to free his father, after Jaga confirmed a nightmare planted by the Shadowmaster about Claud-Us was true. Father and son fought side by side to defeat their enemy. While traveling to the physical plane of existence, Claud-Us said good-bye to his son, telling Lion-O he was proud of the leader his son became. Claud-Us ascended to the astral plane, even joining Jaga to look in on Lion-O and the Thundercats after Lion-O's return.
